AUTHOR [P.O.V]

In another world, Maleficent and another villain who was walking side by side through a deserted market in Agrabah chatting amongst themselves.

Maleficent: "And the Keyhole?"

???: "The Heartless are searching for it now. I'm certain we'll find it soon enough. So that just leaves..."

Before the man could speak a red parrot fly by over to Maleficent and the man and lands on his shoulder.

Iago: "Jafar! I've looked everywhere for Jasmine. She's disappeared like magic!"

Jafar: "The girl is more trouble than she's worth."

Jaar wasn't pleased with the news.

Maleficent: "You said you had things under control."

Jafar: "Agrabah is full of holes for rats to hide in. But why worry about Princess Jasmine? With her or without her, surely this world will be ours when we find the Keyhole."

Maleficent looks down, closing her eyes while speaking.

Maleficent: "We need all seven princesses of heart to open the final door. Any fewer is useless."

Jafar: "Well, if the princess is that important, we'll find her. Find Jasmine and bring her to me at once."

Then mummy looking Heartless appeared with swords in hand.

The red parrot flies away leading the Heartless to find Jasmine with Jafar in tow not before Maleficent gives a warning.

Maleficent: "Don't steep yourself in darkness too long. The Heartless consume the careless."

Jafar stops and laughs darkly.

Jafar: "Your concern is touching, but hardly necessary."

Unbeknownst to those two, a girl with black hair, a light blue headband on her head and two triangle-shaped golden earrings were eavesdropping on those two behind a fruit stand.

~WITH SORA, Y/N, DONALD AND GOOFY~

The four friends were walking through Agrabah.

Y/N: "Well, this is Agrabah."

Goofy: "Do you think we can find the King here?"

Donald and Y/N look at Goofy.

Donald: "Probably..."

Y/N: "Unless there might be a gummi block from him somewhere around here... but we should focus on our mission right now."

Donald and Goofy nod at the Keyblade Master.

The group started walking through the market and encounter a few Heartless. They walk towards the middle of the market where Maleficent and Jafar had their conversation.

Y/N: "Hey let's go through there."

The group follow Y/N in a back alley. The group spotted a woman, who spied on Jafar and Maleficent, hiding behind a box.

???: "Who's there? Hello?"

Y/N: "Um... hi."

The woman came out of her hiding and walked towards the group.

Sora: "Hi there. My name is Sora."

Donald: "Donald!"

Goofy: "Goofy."

Y/N: "And I'm Y/N. Who are you?"

Jasmine: "I'm Jasmine. My father is the sultan of Agrabah."

Y/N: "Sultan? Isn't that a king of the sands? Doesn't that mean..."

Goofy: "Uh... So that makes you a princess."

Jasmine: "But he has been deposed by Jafar, who now controls the city."

Sora & Y/N: "Desposed?!"

Goofy: "Jafar?"

Jasmine: "You haven't heard of him? He's the royal vizier. He's gained evil powers and seized Agrabah. He's desperately looking for something—something he calls the "Keyhole". Jafar caught me trying to escape, but he helped me."

Sora: "Who helped you?"

Jasmine: "We were hiding nearby, but he left a while ago to take care of something... Oh, I hope Aladdin's all right."

Y/N: "Aladdin? Huh... well, I'm sure we'll run into him soon."

Jasmine: "I hope so..."

???: "Aladdin? Where might I find this street rat?"

A voice broke out and caught the Princess and the group's attention. They look up to see Jafar.

Jafar: "Jasmine, allow me to find you more suitable company, my dear princess. These little rats won't do, you see."

Sora: "Jasmine, run!"

Y/N: "Go! We'll take care of him!"

Jasmine looks at the group before running off to who knows where. Everyone got into a fighting stance.

Jafar: "Ah, the boy who holds the key and the Keyblade Master."

Then four Agrabah Heartless appears and jumps down in front of the group as Jafar walks away to find Jasmine. The four quickly destroy the Heartless and jump up to a roof where Jafar stood. There was a Keyhole and Sora places his Keyblade in and a gate nearby opens. They went over to the open gate and went through leading them to the Market. Then they went to a nearby house where they heard flapping.

Y/N: "Hey... do you guys hear that?"

Sora: "Yeah. Where's it coming from?"

Goofy: "Maybe over there?"

Goofy pointed at a small house.

Y/N: "Let's go."

The group went over to the small house and climbed up a pole leading inside. Once they got in they see a carpet trying to escape a wooden box.

Sora: "Is that... a moving carpet?"

Y/N: "It's probably a magic carpet the way it's moving... let's go help it."

Sora and Y/N walked over to the carpet and moved the box away and the carpet flew around freely. It bowed to Sora and Y/N before flying through the open hole.

Donald: "The carpet flew off toward the desert. But let's explore the city more."

Sora: "Yeah. Maybe we'll find Jasmine."

After exploring the city they went to the desert where they see the carpet land in front of them.

Y/N: "Oh hello."

The carpet waved at them with its corner and lays flat.

Sora: "Huh? It wants us to come along."

Goofy: "Looks like it."

Sora: "Really? Awesome! Let's go."

They all hop on the carpet and they fly off into the desert on the magic carpet in search of the princess.

~SOMEWHERE IN THE DESERT~

A man and monkey were struggling to get out in the quicksand.

Y/N: "Hey! We gotta go help them!"

Sora: "Okay!"

As the carpet lands, the group gets off and a few Heartless appears. They quickly get rid of them. Sora and Y/N slowly make their way down to the man where he was laid unconscious for a bit. He woke up to see Sora and Y/N in front of them.

Goofy: "Gawrsh, not again!"

More Heartless appeared. The man got up and he pulled out a lamp and started rubbing it.

???: "Genie, get rid of these guys!"

As soon as he said that a big blue man with a golden bracelet came out with a war cry.

Genie: "Wish Number One, coming right up!"

As he clicked his fingers the Heartless disappeared. They helped the man and his monkey and got out of the dark place. They introduced themselves and the group found out that this man was Aladdin that Jasmine talked about earlier.

Aladdin: "I see... Thanks, Sora and Y/N."

Y/N: "It's no problem."

Sora: "Aladdin, what're you doing out here?"

Aladdin: "Same old stuff. Hunting legendary treasure. Just paid a visit to the Cave of Wonders. I found that magic carpet, and this lamp. Legend has it that whoever holds the lamp can summon the—"

He then was cut off by Genie.

Genie: "Please, kid, leave the intros to a professional. The one and only GENIE OF THE LAMP! Rub-a-dub-dub the lamp and have your dearest wishes granted. Today's winner is... Aladdin! Congratulations!"

Then confetti spread out above Aladdin as Genie shakes his hand.

Donald: "Any wish?"

Genie: "Patience, my fine feathered friend. Any three wishes! A one wish, a two wish, a three wish. Then I make like a banana and split! Our lucky winner made his first wish— And let me tell you, what a doozy that wish was—"

He leaned over to whisper to Sora and Y/N the last sentence.

Genie: "So he has two left. So, master, what'll you have for Wish Number Two?"

Then lights shown down on Aladdin and cheers roared around the group.

Y/N: "Well... this has gotten interesting."

Sora: "Tell me about it."

Y/N giggled. As Aladdin thought about his second wish.

Aladdin: "Hmm, how about making me a fabulously wealthy prince?"

Genie: "Whoa! Money! Royalty! Fame! Why didn't I think of that? Okay, you asked for it! A hundred servants and a hundred camels loaded with gold! Just say the word and I'll deliver it in 30 minutes or less, or your meal's free. Hey, I'll even throw in a cappuccino!"

Aladdin: "No, thanks!"

Genie: "Okay."

Aladdin: "I think I'll put that on hold until we reach Agrabah."

Goofy: "Uh, why a prince?"

Aladdin: "You see, there's this girl in Agrabah named Jasmine. But she's a princess, and I'm... Aw, she could never fall for a guy like me."

Donald: "Oh. Princess?"

Goofy: "Jasmine?"

Y/N: "Sora..."

Y/N and Sora exchanged looks before they looked back at Aladdin.

Sora: "Oh, that's right! She's in trouble, Aladdin!"

Aladdin: "What? Well, c'mon, let's get going!"

They hopped onto the carpet and flew towards Agrabah with Genie floating beside them.

Genie: "Ah, fresh air! The great outdoors!"

Sora: "I guess you don't get out much, huh?"

Y/N nudges her friend.

Genie: "Comes with the job. Phenomenal cosmic powers. Itty-bitty living space. It's always three wishes, then back to my portable prison. I'm lucky to see the light of day every century or two..."

Y/N: "Oh, poor you..."

Then Aladdin spoke up after a few second of silence.

Aladdin: "Say, Genie, what if I use my last wish to free you from the lamp? What do you think?"

Then Genie blinked and looked at Aladdin as if he was joking.

Genie: "You'd do that?"

Aladdin: "Genie, it's a promise. After we help Jasmine."

They made it to Agrabah and they went to Aladdin's home where they helped the magic carpet. They explained the situation to Aladdin about Jafar, Jasmine and the Keyhole.

Aladdin: "So, Jafar is after Jasmine and this "Keyhole.""

Genie: "Keyhole, eh? I could swear I've heard about that somewhere before..."

Donald: "Really? Where?"

Genie: "Now, where was it? It's only been 200 years..."

Y/N: "Wait, what. 200 years?!"

Sora: "Well, anyway, we've got to stop Jafar before it's too late."

Y/N: "Yeah. Let's go. Let's just hope he didn't get Jasmine before us."

Sora [nodding]: "Uh-huh."

Aladdin: "Let's check out at the Palace, Jasmine might be there."

Everyone headed to the Palace. They were above on one of the city roofs they arrived at the Palace gates where they see Jasmine and Jafar. The group jumped in front of them.

Jafar: "Setting your sights a little high, aren't you boy? Back to your hole, street rat. I will not allow you to trouble the princess any more."

Aladdin: "Jasmine!"

Jasmine: "I'm so sorry, Aladdin."

As she tried to step forward Jafar stretches his arm out blocking her view away from Aladdin.

Aladdin: "Genie, help Jasmine, please!"

Aladdin rubbed the lamp from behind his back. Then Genie appeared behind Jafar taking him by surprise to see him carry Jasmine bridal-style.

Genie: "One wish left! You're making this really easy, you know."

Jafar [chuckles]: "So sorry, boy. I'm afraid your second wish has been denied."

Y/N: "What are you—"

Then the red parrot from earlier had the lamp and flew over to Jafar. Aladdin looked at his empty-handed hands taking him by surprise.

Genie: "I'm sorry, Al."

Genie disappeared dropping Jasmine as she let out a small scream and was dropped inside a pot and was trapped inside as the pot grew spider legs.

Y/N & Sora: "Jasmine!"

Jafar: "And now, I bid you all farewell. Attack!"

Then Jafar's figure disappeared on the spot. The pots behind Sora, Y/N and the group broke and appeared more Heartless. They started attacking while hearing Jasmine's cry for help. As they defeated a few Heartless the pot that carried Jasmine inside started running away.

Y/N: "Hey! Come back here!"

Sora: "It still has Jasmine!"

The group chased after the pot and more Heartless appeared. They finally got rid of the Heartless but Jasmine was nowhere to be found.

Aladdin: "Jasmine!"

Jafar's evil laugh echoed the empty city market.

Aladdin: "To the desert! Come on, let's move!"

They got on the magic carpet and headed to the Cave of Wonders. They stepped into the dark area where they found Aladdin, Genie and Abu. As they stepped forward the sand started to rumble. Sora and Y/N gasped as Sora stretched his arms out to protect his friends. A tiger head popped out of the sand. It had an intimidating aura, its eyes were mixed with purple and yellow colour.

Y/N: "It's aura... it's being controlled by the Heartless!"

Sora, Y/N, Donald and Goofy attacked the Tiger guardian to free it from the Heartless. The Tiger guardian shot out a few magic at them but they were able to stand their ground. Sora and Y/N attacked the Tiger's eyes thinking it might help the guardian go back to normal. After releasing the Tiger guardian from the Heartless it went back to normal. They walked inside the Cave of Wonders. They went through a hallway and it led them to a bigger area it had a few traps but they managed to avoid them safely. They went through another hallway that led them to a treasure room.

The Keyblade group: "Woah!"

Y/N: "That is a lot of treasure..."

Sora: "Yeah..."

Donald: "Okay! Enough with the sightseeing! We gotta find Princess Jasmine!"

Once they explored the treasure room they found themselves in a different room but it was darker and deeper. They found a monkey with a big grin, its arms reaching out and it was holding something a gem that was shaped in an egg. Sora tapped it with his Keyblade and it glowed brightly then a secret passageway opened up above them. They swam up a small waterfall and walked upon the staircase they jumped down through another pool of water and went through a hidden room. They swam around and found a pillar that reaches the top but it was too tall for them. They were sitting ducks. Sora shot a fireball at the pillar but it would take too long for all the pillars to come shorter.

~MEANWHILE WITH GENIE, JAFAR AND JASMINE~

Somewhere in the Cave of Wonders. Genie was floating above and was sulking after what had happened back in Agrabah he couldn't forget it. Jafar was with him and an unconscious Jasmine next to his feet.

Jafar: "My first wish, Genie! Show me the Keyhole!"

Jafar lifted up the lamp and Genie snapped his fingers obeying his new master. Then a keyhole appeared, Jafar laughed menacingly knowing he was nearly accomplishing his goal.

~WITH SORA, Y/N, DONALD, GOOFY AND ALADDIN~

They went through a few places but nobody found Princess Jasmine or Jafar. So they went back to the Treasure room and headed inside the Lamp Chamber. What they didn't know yet was that Maleficent and Jafar were in there chatting amongst themselves.

Maleficent: "That boy and girl again?"

Jafar: "He's more persistent than I expected. Why not explain the situation to that boy Riku? I'm sure he would love to hear from his lover doing well, yet I can't promise that I'll do damage to her. Doing so may actually prove useful to our—"

Jafar got interpreted as the Keyblade group barged in. Sora noticed another person by Jafar and Jasmine.

Sora: "Wait a second. Are you Maleficent?"

Maleficent just stared at the group before she disappeared.

Aladdin: "Jafar, let Jasmine go!"

Jafar: "Not a chance. You see, she's a princess— one of seven who somehow hold the key to opening the door."

Goofy: "Open..."

Donald: "...the door?"

Y/N: 'What does he mean by seven? Does this also relate to Alice's disappearance?'

Jafar: "But you fools won't live to see what lies beyond it. Genie! My second wish. Crush them!"

Genie appeared above Jafar still looking upset.

Aladdin: "Genie, no!"

Genie: "Sorry, Al. The one with the lamp calls the shots. I don't have a choice."

Jafar used his staff to create an invisible barrier where the group can't escape. Then Jafar started to chant a few words.

Y/N: "Sora, while Jafar is distracted for a while that's when we strike got it?"

Sora: "You got it!"

Sora and Y/N attack Jafar as he fired a few spells back at them.

Jafar: "Take that!"

Sora was pushed back from his magic but was saved by Y/N who put a wind spell around him from getting knocked out. Jafar disappeared from his spot and a purple fireball started floating around. Sora and Y/N tried to catch up and shoot at it with a few spells. Jafar then appeared on another stand and started to float away from one stand to another.

Jafar: "Over here!"

He started to mock the Keyblade wielders. As Jafar started chanting, Sora and Y/N attacked. Jafar then attacked Y/N with his staff.

Y/N: "Ah!"

Sora: "Y/N!"

Jafar: "That's gotta hurt!"

Jafar mocked the Master Keyblader. Sora helped Y/N up and they attacked him again. Jafar then attacked Donald and Goofy.

Donald: "Waaak!"

Goofy: "Woah!"

Y/N & Sora: "Donald! Goofy!"

Jafar [laughs]: "You can't win!"

Y/N: "Oh... you're so going to regret that!"

Sora and Y/N attacked Jafar at the same time and by that he was defeated. As he got hit by Y/N and Sora, Jafar's figure was struggling a few sparks appeared around him and his body faded away.

Y/N: "Now that's over... let's go check on Jasmine."

Everyone headed over to where Jasmine was passed out.

Y/N: "Jasmine?"

Y/N tried to wake the princess up.

Sora: "I think she only passed out. We gotta go after Jafar first."

Jafar: "Genie! My final wish!"

Everyone turned around to spot Jafar floating in the middle of the Lamp Chamber with eh lamp in hand.

Jafar: "I want you to make me an all-powerful genie!"

Genie closed his eyes and shakily pointed at the visor and granted his wish. The chamber started to shake and the middle of the chamber disappeared and a giant hole appeared with lava flowing around with Jafar down there.

Y/N: "Let's go! We gotta stop him!"

Everyone dropped to the deeper area of the Lamp Chamber and was looking around for Jafar.

Y/N: "Where is—?"

Y/N question was interrupted by an explosion behind them as Jafar or Genie Jafar rose up from the lava. He was bigger than the blue Genie. Then the same red parrot flew by carrying a different lamp, it was a black one, the group guessed it might be Jafar's.

Aladdin: "The lamp! Get Jafar's lamp!"

Y/N: "Donald, Goofy, go grab the lamp! Aladdin, Sora and I got this!"

Donald & Goofy: "Okay!"

Aladdin, Sora and Y/N attacked Genie Jafar as he threw a few spells himself. Sora decided to try a summoning spell. While Aladdin and Y/N kept the Genie Jafar busy, Sora summoned the Lion King, Simba. They had a quick introduction before they continued to fight. The Genie Jafar went back down to the lava pit and came back up with a giant rock that was covered in lava and threw it straight at Y/N and Sora but lucky for them Y/N and Sora broke it apart with their Keyblades. The parrot flew by and Sora tried to reach for it but failed. Apparently, Simba's time was up and he disappeared back to his world.

Donald: "Come back here!"

Donald was chasing the parrot with the lamp as the group sweatdropped a bit. The parrot was right above Y/N. She jumped a hit the parrot with her Keyblade and grabbed the black lamp.

Y/N: "Sora! Catch!"

Y/N threw the black lamp to Sora.

Sora: "Thanks, Y/N! Okay, Jafar! Back to your lamp!"

Sora lifted up the lamp pointing at Genie Jafar and slowly was trapped inside his lamp. Jasmine woke up not too long ago and watched the battle behold finish. She then heard another figure approaching her from behind and she gasped as she was knocked out and was taken away. The magic carpet flew over to the group and gave them a lift once they got back to the surface they didn't see Jasmine anywhere.

Aladdin: "Jasmine? Jasmine!"

Aladdin looked round and the keyhole glowed. Sora pointed his Keyblade at the keyhole and locked this world up and the keyhole disappeared. After locking it the Lamp Chamber started shaking.

Goofy: "Whoa, we'd better get out of here!"

Sora grabbed Y/N hand everyone hopped onto the carpet.

Aladdin: "Jasmine!"

Everyone held onto Aladdin preventing him from getting hurt knowing they won't find Jasmine as she disappeared just like Alice. They came back to Agrabah, everyone rested at Aladdin's home.

Aladdin: "So, Jasmine's no longer in Agrabah. Sora, Y/N, let's go find her."

Y/N and Sora exchanged glances before looking back at their friend.

Sora: "Sorry. We can't take you with me."

Aladdin: "Wh-Why not?"

Goofy: "I sure wish we could..."

Donald: "But we can't. If we take him to another world, we would be..."

Goofy: "Muh... Mudd—"

Donald: "Meddling!"

Sora: "Aladdin, we'll find Jasmine. I promise."

Sora, Y/N and their friends flew to the previous worlds and returned to Agrabah but have no luck finding Princess Jasmine. Aladdin slumped by the window gap when Genie smacked his back.

Genie: "Uh, earth to Al. Hello? You still have one wish left. Look, just say the word. Ask me to find Jasmine for you."

Aladdin: "I... I wish... For your freedom, Genie."

Genie: "Al!"

Genie couldn't believe what Aladdin said as a few sparks of magic surrounded Genie. He then grew a pair of legs and his golden bracelets disappeared meaning he was free.

Aladdin: "A deal's a deal, Genie. Now you can go anywhere you want. You're your own master. But if you can, it'd be great if you could go along with them and help Sora and Y/N find Jasmine."

Genie: "Hmm. Sorry, Al. I'm done taking orders from others."

Genie turned his back to Aladdin and crossed his arms.

Genie: "But... A favor, now that's entirely different. I guess I could give that a try. After all, we're pals, right, Al?"

Aladdin: "Genie..."

Genie: "Just leave it to me!"

Aladdin ruffled his hair and smiled at Genie.

Y/N: 'Heh... I wonder... could Maleficent had done this? I wonder if she did the same thing to Kairi and... Riku."

~SOMEWHERE ELSE~

Hades, Riku and Maleficent were in a dark room having a short conversation.

Hades: "That smarmy vizier could've had 'em— if someone had stuck around to give him a hand."

Hades looked at Riku.

Riku: "Hey, I did my part. I brought the princess, didn't I?"

Maleficent: "Jafar was beyond help, consumed by his own hatred. One should beware of letting it burn too fiercely."

Hades: "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Lighten up. I'm as cool as they come, okay? By the way, kid, have we got something special for you."

Riku: "Huh?"

Riku looked at Maleficent in confusion.

Maleficent: "We had a deal, yes? You help us, and we grant you your wish..."

Then on the table, a figure appeared. It was Kairi. She was sleeping, not moving, she was laying there.

Riku: "Kairi!"

Maleficent: "Go to her. Your vessel is waiting."

Then another figure came. He worn a red coat that reached his knees, he had a hook on his left hand.

???: "Just remember, this is no pleasure cruise. It won't be a pleasant voyage."

Riku: "Why are you doing all this for me? What's the catch?"

Maleficent: "Catch? What's the catch?"

Maleficent turned to face Riku.

Maleficent: "Silly, boy. You're like a son to me. I only want you to be happy. I'm pretty sure your lover would too."

Maleficent leaned down to Riku and placed a hand on his face. Riku slapped her hand away.

Riku: "I seriously doubt that." 'But... if it's for Y/N I would do it...'

Maleficent: "Believe what you wish. But lest we forget, I kept my end of the bargain."

Riku stared at Maleficent before walking away to Kairi but one person kept on his mind.

Riku: 'Y/N... we'll meet each other soon. I promise.'

~BACK AT AGRABAH~

Sora, Y/N, Donald and Goofy decided to take a ride on the magic carpet. As they flew through the desert a giant Heartless appeared. It nearly knocked them off.

Sora: "We'll never take a break, do we?"

Y/N: "Trust me, Sora. Becoming a Keybladde Master is a lot of work but for a beginner like you, you'll get used to it."

Sora: "Heh, yeah right."

They got off the carpet and fought the giant Heartless. The Heartless disappeared and they flew back to Agrabah and back to Aladdin's house.

Aladdin: "Here. Take this with you. Sora, Y/N, please find Jasmine for me."

Aladdin hands Sora and Y/N something. Then Y/N founds a torn page in Aladdin's household.

Y/N: "Hey guys! I found something!"

The three friends huddled over the female wielder.

Y/N: "I found a torn page."

Sora: "Could this torn page be from Merlin's book?"

Goofy: "Let's return to town and give it to him."

Y/N: "Yeah."

The group said their goodbye's to Aladdin and went to their Gummi Ship and flew towards Traverse Town.
